Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD.

SSD technology has evolved at an extremely fast pace and at this point you can get everything from an Entry level drive that runs in the 100MB/s (read) range to the 250MB/s Enthusiast drives. With all the different flavors of drives you almost need a score card to know which drives fall into which category.

The Kingston SSDNow V+ series features a Samsung S3C29RBB controller and very modest power requirements. Idling at 0.15W and 2.6W when in use. The SSDNow provides up to 220MB/s read and 170MB/s write which would put it in a high end performance class or or arguably breach the Enthusiast class.

Whichever class the Kingston SSDNow V+ falls in you'll get blistering speed, low voltage requirements, and consistently high performance. You'll also get Kingston's 3 year warranty and legendary reliability. If your looking for a blazing fast drive backed by an industry leader in memory technologies it's hard to go wrong by choosing a Kingston drive.

Antec Nine Hundred Two Gaming Case Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk posted a review on the Antec Nine Hundred Two Gaming Case

The Antec Nine Hundred Two is a new, revamped version of the Nine Hundred. The original Nine Hundred was a great case but it wasn't perfect. Antec have since looked at how they can make the case even better and have then implemented these improvements into the Nine Hundred Two. This means that the Nine Hundred Two has removable dust filters, external fan controllers (rather than internal) and the inside of the case has been painted black - in a similar fashion to the Antec Twelve Hundred. These improvements are just a few of the added extras. So has Antec managed to create the perfect gaming case this time round? Let's take a look.

How to Build a Wireless Network Using a Broadband Router
Hardware Secrets posted a guide about building a wireless network using a broadband router

More and more people are willing to assemble their own wireless network. With a wireless network set at your home or office, you will be able to share files, use the printer and access the Internet without the need of connecting a network cable to your computers. This is great if you have desktop computers located in places where is hard to install a network cable or if you want to have the freedom to access your network and the Internet using your laptop anywhere inside your home or office: you can carry your laptop from your bedroom or office to your living room and it will still be connected with no cables attached.

nVidia GTX 260 SLI Article
OCIA.net has posted their nVidia GTX 260 SLI Article

Last summer the nVidia GT200 core cards, the GTX 260 and GTX 280, were relatively new and expensive. Now, more than a year later, the GT200 core is still nVidia's top-dog, but the cost of entry to this level of performance has dropped significantly. With the advent of newer, faster cards such as the GTX 275 and 285, the now lowly but revamped, die-shrunk 260 can be had for well under the $200 mark, or even less for the original 65nm, 192sp core cards. It's one of these cards, basically identical to our original EVGA GTX 260 from last year, that we've got from our friends over at Geeks.com for comparison today. Join me as I take a look at a modern SLI implementation and see if two cards really are better than one.

Cooler Master Elite 310 Review
OCC has published a review on the Cooler Master Elite 310

These results where right where I expected them, with a little surprise on the hard drive temperature, where it outperformed both comparison cases. I didn't expect this due to the appearance of the front bezel; there isn't any perforations in the plastic and only a little bit of perforation between the blue accent and the plastic area, as noted in the Closer Look pages. I didn't expect a lot of air to flow through the small surface area of the opening for the front 120mm intake. The higher chipset temperatures are most likely due to the lower position of the side panel fan, which didn't push enough air over the chipset heatsink.
